« 2-Minute Productivity SeriesMain  | A Message To GBM Readers From Warner »

Ho, Ho, Ho! It Is Christmas Time at GottaBeMobile.com!

- Rob Bushway

I get more gadgets and stuff than I can shake a stick at, and frankly, I'm getting run out of my office with it all. So, I'm going to pass them on to you - the GBM reader. I love all of this stuff, but I figured it would be best to spread the love around.

Here is the loot:

  • 1 HP TC1100 Tablet PC + Docking Station + rubber flap.
  • 1 Samsung Q1P Ultra-Mobile PC with extended battery and organizer case
  • 1 BatteryGeek.net Portable Powerstation
  • 1 HTC Tilt - unlocked
  • 1 HTC Advantage - unlocked
  • 1 Vista Ultimate
  • 1 Tom Bihn Ristretto Bag
  • 1 Limited Edition Microsoft Surface Bag
  • 10 Bluebeam PDF Shirts
  • 3 Lenovo 2 GB USB drives
  • 5 HP shirts
  • 1 limited edition GottaBeMobile.com shirt
  • 1 GottaBeMobile.com coffee mug
  • 1 2007 Streets and Trips
  • 1 2006 Streets and Trips
  • 1 Planon Universal Mobile Charger
  • 1 Linksys 8-port workgroup switch
  • 1 iPod Shuffle
  • 1 Red Zune (4 or 8 GB - I forget which one it is)
  • 1 Black Zune (30 GB)
  • 1 Lenovo portable mouse
  • 1 Lenovo portable power kit
  • 1 Labtec PC Mic

  • 1 Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000
  • 1 autographed picture of Warner Crocker
  • Some Splotches
  • 1 Linksys Portable Wireless Router
  • 1 $50 HPShopping.com Gift card

All winners will also get a mix of Motion Computing sticky pads, Microsoft Origami pins, TechSmith pens, and other assorted goodies. Some of the prizes above are used to some extent or another.

How can you win? Well, on any given day we'll be giving away one of the above prizes. It might be the Red Zune one day, the TC1100 two days later, or a TabletKiosk stand and a gift card all on the same day - you won't know what is being given away until the deed is done! The key to winning is to 1) be active on the GBM site with some good comments on our posts, or 2) be actively discussing topics / helping users in our forums, or 3) be active by spreading the GBM link love around by posting about GBM on your site, your blog, in a video, in a podcast, in other forums you participate in, Twitter links, etc - point to the work we are doing and let others know. We'll be watching and will pick someone from amongst the people active for that particular day. We'll do this until all of the above prizes are given away. This is open to U.S. and International readers.

The gift giving starts today, so get cracking!

There are two reasons to come to GottaBeMobile.com -- valuable insight on mobile technology, and extremely generous staff! :)

Kick ass contest, guys. Way to reward the contributors (which includes me - Yay!). And everything on the prize list is something I could... hold on... "1 autographed picture of Warner Crocker?!?" Okay, ALMOST everything on the prize list is something I could use. ;P

Hope Warner's not doing his 'stall surfing' in the pic!

It must be hard for techy people to let go of great tech stuff, but then, sharing is a virtue. Thank you for considering your members. I am a frequent poster to the forums and have greatly appreciated all the help from GBM. I am glad to give help when I can.

@Gavin: If you win the pic, I'll make sure it is one from the limited edition stall surfing set.

That TC1100 is looking mighty fine right about now :)

Rob,
Thank you for your generosity! I am glad that you are rewarding contributors with your willingness to share your great goodies!

Good luck, everybody!!! I never thought I'd see anybody give away their HTC Advantage! Never mind all the other goodies! I've been eyeing an Advantage as a replacement for my old Jornada, but, sadly, $800+ is *way* out of my league :(. Thanks to GBM for this *great* giveaway, and *good luck to everybody else* out there! May the one who wants or *needs* any particular item the most - win it!

This isn't April 1st, is it...

Since my comment is 16th down and the computer is surely called for, I'll take dibbs on the Sony portable DVD-RW

That's a pretty long, insane list of stuff... I'd like to have your job, but frankly... I'm not sure that I could keep up! (And thanks to Mr. Crocker for Tweeting this!)

Very impressive. Im sure a number of GBM true believers will be hoping for joy on getting some of Rob's loving there. On another note been very impresses how much GBM seems to be popping up on other sites(engadget, etc) with links to articles and videos lately.

Hey, should all the winners have a 'Yankee Swap' at the end? ;-)
Tuesday, June 24, 2008 9:00:44 AM (Mountain Daylight Time, UTC-06:00)
Well...that's definetily a great contest! =)

As someone wrote above, it's 'kickin' ass' for sure:)

I hope I'll win something of these stuff above, probably on the 9th July, my 21th Birthday :D

Greetings to all Members...btw someone knows how Hugo is doing ?
